The painted murals in the Regent Theatre, Melbourne are locted in The Royal Promenade. They were by Quentin Sutton, a 23 year old, who had studied at Melbourne’s Swinburne Technical College and at the National Gallery Art School. The Murals are named ‘The Fruits of Glory’ and ‘Barter with the East’. These were destroyed in the 1945 fire and were replaced in the rebuild by murals by George Browning, depicting scenes from Lawrence Olivier’s 1944 film “Henry v
Murals in the original auditorium (later destroyed by fire) were by Portia East, a highly regarded artist who had exhibited in London & Paris, and was a lifelong and assiduous fighter for women’s rights. These were re-placed by murals by artist Charles Bush.

Joe; Google Maps picture what looks like the rear of a theatre on W. Pearce Street when looking at the 315 W. Texas Avenue address. The 8200 S. Main Street is way off.
A beauty salon, known as Leisel Bridge to Beauty Inc. operates from this address. Whether its out of the theatres lobby, or an adjacent store in the building, I am not sure.
The 1927 edition of Film Daily Yearbook lists an ‘un-named’ theater is planned by the Folpad Reality Co. at Tucson Avenue and Jericho Turnpike. This could be the Floral Theatre? Today, Tucson Avenue does not exist on maps.
